Re: How Do You Choose: 2531.80.00 or 2054.50.00??

I agree with Dave's comment. It's definitely not a dilemma - it's a good problem to have. I faced this exact same situation one month ago. I, like you, also came to this forum for some thoughts on practicality, looks, experience, etc. Someone here asked "Which one is smiling at you? That's the one!" Best advice I could have received.

The 2531.80 "smiled" at me. I really like the blk/blk alot but the Bond is the watch which first made me want an Omega more than 2 years ago. I must tell you that I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. If I had unlimited resources, I'd have both. Since that is not the case, my choice was the one that smiled at me.

Both are great - go with your gut and you won't for a minute look back. The quality is outstanding and the looks are great. You'll find yourself staring at your wrist constantly!

Good luck. Let us know what you decide!
